It was previously reported that Atiku Bagudu, the Chairman of the APC Progressive Governors Forum and the Governor of Kebbi State, revealed on Tuesday that the party had agreed on a simple, equitable zoning formula for all six geopolitical zones by swapping positions between the northern and southern zones.
Bagudu had said, “We have agreed on a zoning formula for all the six geopolitical zones and essentially we swapped. Northern zones will take positions that southern zones held in the last eight years and vice versa. So, it is a very simple, equitable and fair formula.”
